    And when I have questions I will post them in the appropriate forum and ask them. And for the most part, no, people aren't offering me valuable information. They are just telling me it is a waste of money and superfluous. There are way too many posts with people offering their brand of information and harping. So I'm going to be very defensive of my post that is simply asking for some fun, wishful thinking. I get the idea, but this just isn't the right forum for telling me the fat burner and slimming cream are a bad idea.

    If your opinion is about things you want, things you've had success with, things you would like to try that other people have posted, than you came to the right place.

    When I want to discuss the pros and cons of a fat burner, I will make a post regarding that, not a post regarding what one would like in a care package.

    I find it funny that no matter how polite or tactful the respondents that disagree with the OP have been they get very snarky replies. I simply mentioned that calling it "fat" wouldn't be my choice and I got snark.

    To everyone who has replied, good luck with your goals and I hope everyone gets to reward themselves as they see fit! ????????

    Because it isn't about me, it is about you, and support for the things that you wish for or want for, no matter whether we agree with them or not. I was asked why I would call it something that was insulting, so I replied.

    I really want people to listen to good advice and succeed with their goals.

    That's what makes me happy.

    Well, that and a good IPA.

    Telling you it's a waste of money IS valuable information.

    This is absolutely the right forum to tell that you're incorrect. We see people offering misinformation or beliefs in products that aren't what they're marketed to be, we're gonna call it. You may not like it, but don't worry. There are absolutely people reading this who actually WANT to learn and they will take this information, even if you don't.

    Don't take any advice. Do what you want. No one really cares.

    Good luck to you in all your goals, OP. :flowerforyou:

    I just wanted to know what "hyper shred" is....

    and I agree with others this is probably a waste of money ..

    eat in deficit + work out = lose weight (and save money)

    I'm more of a stout and porter girl myself.

    Trust me, I'm not disregarding anyone's advice.

    I just really don't want this to turn into a forum where people harp on another person's wish instead of just relaying their own. If you don't need or want a care package, then just leave it alone.

    You know what else is a waste of money: any piece of clothing or food that is absolutely not necessary to me functioning in a day.

    My tv, my computer, my access to the internet, etc, so forth, on and on. Jesus people. I WONT GET A FAT BURNER. FEEL BETTER?

    Now can we get back to the basis: were we get to talk about unnecessary wants and desires. Je-sus.

    then start a care package group and make it private...

    No thanks.I'm satisfied with the amount of new friends I've made from this post, and not deterred by people who refuse to stop posting in forums that they really have no interest in. I'll keep open and continue to enjoy the fun, cute, silly, awesome, interesting items and adventures people have replied with.

    I had to google your number #1. Are you referring to the sea salt? If so, what do you like to use it in.
    Getting an arm band for my phone was awesome! I hit up Target and got one fairly cheap that fit my phone, and it's odd shaped.
    I feel ya on the emotional eating!

    I use the fleur de sel when I make salted butter caramel ice cream, vanilla bean salted caramel sauce, and to top the milk chocolate salted caramel filled cupcakes I like to bake so much. Hmm... No wonder I'm here on MFP, huh?

    Thanks for the idea to check Target for the arm band. I have a pretty huge phone, so I'm hoping I'll find one that fits. :)
  • Good God some people on this forum are utterly humourless!!! What is UP with some people!!!!

    I like this idea, it is fun (remember that?!?!).

    My care package would be new workout clothes (when I look better!), maybe some nice beauty products along the way & then when I'm at goal- a holiday! Go hard or go home right? ;)

    Love the lady who bought herself a car at -50lbs!

    Just so I get it right, the "Fat Girl Care Package" is what will help you get to your goal?

    There are so many frivolous things I'd love to add to my daily/weekly life that I either can't afford or just don't want to spend that kind of cash on right now. XD

    - Bellydancing/Hula-hooping lessons. For fun and for enrichment.
    - Kettlebells for home. (And suitable flooring for when I inevitably drop them during juggling.)
    - A HRM.
    - New workout clothes.
    - Weekly massages.

    I got one last week.for my phone on eBay. It was under ten bucks with free shipping. I have tiny arms and a HUGE phone, but it works.

    My care package would mainly be Epson salt for bath soaks. And because I love getting girly fun bath bombs and frou frou body stuff. Cupcake scented body butter and stuffs.

    Sometimes after I crawl home from a particularly brutal workout I like to do some girly pampering.

    And maybe treat myself to a visit to the outlets. Nike, Reebok, Colombia, Northface, Merrell, New Balance.... I can always spend money there.

    A care package is a great idea! (I've just had a setback with a back injury, so mail of any kind--especially mood-boosting goodies--is up there in terms of items I LOOOOOVE at the moment)

    A new yoga mat and hot weather nonslip towel
    Yoga trousers from Lululemon
    A gym membership
    A new heartrate monitor
    FitBit
    An iTunes giftcard (to put electronic copies of my Jillian Michaels workouts on my iPad)

    A spa day (mani, pedi, deep tissue massage, facial, and body polish)
    Molton Brown lotion, cinnamon orange tea from the local tea shop, good quality cast iron teapot
    Cooking lessons (probably Japanese or Indian)

    The Dream Care Package of Bliss:
    A worry-free, all expenses paid trip for a weekend in London (train tickets, museum exhibit tickets, hotel room, money for a night dinner out) to see friends and my boyfriend

    So most of us need chocolate, new shoes, new bras, more underwear, hot men, exotic vacations, exercise equipment, our hair done, our nails done, a massage......I'm so in!!!! :)
  • Nothing I want and can afford is a waste of my own money. I'm treating myself, and that is the whole point. Negativity is not needed. If you don't want to play along, stay off the playground.

    Words to live by. You get it, girl!
